Wang Meihua smiled like a flower, quickly got up and prepared to pull Gu An'an to sit down in a chair, being extremely attentive.
It reminds me of a saying: "A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken has ulterior motives."
"With everyone here, do you not have to go to work or school? And you, it's not time to leave work yet, is it? Aren't you afraid of your boss finding out and giving you a hard time? You know, you're taking over my mom's job, and I won't stand for it if you embarrass her."
Gu An'an's mouth chattered away like a machine gun, instantly turning the mood of everyone in the room from sunny to gloomy, making her feel extremely pleased.
"That happened so many years ago. Your aunt has always worked diligently. Why bring that up again?"
Gu An'an sat down in Wang Meihua's seat, ignoring Zhang Changsheng's nonsense, and casually picked up an apple from the table and started eating it.
"The apple is mine."
Zhang Xiaojun was about to make a move without thinking, but Zhang Yanhong grabbed him. The most important thing today was to get Gu An'an to give up her job; everything else was trivial.
As for Gu An'an, we can deal with her after we get the job.
Gu An'an gave a mocking smile, "Yours? You live upstairs, go home and find it if you want to eat."
"That was bought for me by my uncle. Why are you stealing my things, you worthless piece of trash?"
Zhang Xiaojun had been the tyrant of his family since childhood. Not only Gu An'an, but even his two older sisters had to give way to him. He couldn't stand Gu An'an's contemptuous and mocking gaze, so he rushed up and tried to attack her. Zhang Yanhong couldn't stop him at all.
"Clap clap clap".
Zhang Xiaojun had just rushed in front of Gu An'an when he received several loud slaps. No one expected that the usually gentle Gu An'an would suddenly take action.
"Gu An'an, what are you doing?"
Zhang Xiaojun was beaten, and Zhang Changsheng was the first to lose his composure. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up. If it were the original owner of this body, he would definitely have been frightened by his imposing manner.
But would Gu An'an be afraid? Of course not. She even took advantage of Zhang Xiaojun's stunned moment and slapped him twice more, saying, "You little brat, can't you see with your eyes open?"
Wang Meihua had no idea that Gu An'an would make a move again, so she quickly pulled her son behind her, protecting him like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"An'an, how could you hit your brother?"
Gu An'an smiled. The original owner looked like her mother. Although she looked malnourished, her smile was bright and had a delicate, frail charm that made people jealous.
Just like Wang Meihua and the Zhang sisters at this moment, their eyes were blazing with anger, wishing they could just grab that face and tear it to shreds.
"Don't even mention my cousin, even if it's my own brother born to my mother, if he dares to call me a good-for-nothing, I'll beat him up without hesitation."
Gu An'an moved her wrist slightly, and although she still had a smile in her eyes, Zhang Xiaojun, who had just been slapped a few times, still felt that his cousin was a bit scary.
Others may not know, but he knows exactly how painful that seemingly normal slap really was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stunned and beaten again, and he would feel like his teeth were loose.
“Xiao Jun is still a child, how can you hold a grudge against him?”
Zhang Yanqing entered the supply and marketing cooperative through Zhang Changsheng's connections. She always thought she was superior to others, especially in front of the original owner of this body. At this moment, she frowned as she looked at Gu An'an, her face full of disapproval.
"If others knew you couldn't even tolerate a child, how could your reputation be good? A good family wouldn't want a girl with a ruined reputation!"
Gu An'an scoffed. These days, everyone really likes to use their reputation to manipulate women. "Oh? Then what do you think I should do now, cousin?"
Zhang Yanqing thought she had convinced Gu An'an and said arrogantly, "We are family after all, so we certainly won't treat you like outsiders. Just apologize to Xiaojun and give the textile factory job to your younger sister."
Before Gu An'an returned, they had already discussed it: the textile factory job would go to the younger sister, and her mother would give the job to the younger brother, so that none of the three siblings would have to go to the countryside.
As for Gu An'an, her mother had already signed her up to go to the countryside, so the annoyance would only last for a couple of days and she could just bear it.
Gu An'an burst out laughing, even clapping her hands. "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Shouldn't I be grateful to you all for taking over my job despite our past grievances?"
The sarcasm on her face was too obvious. These bastards from the Zhang family weren't stupid, so of course they could understand her true meaning. Their expressions, which had just calmed down, turned even uglier.
“I’m doing this for your own good. Your mother and grandfather are gone. If you get married and suffer mistreatment, the three of us siblings will have to stand up for you. Otherwise, your in-laws will torment you to death.”
"Exactly! You haven't lived in the countryside, so you don't know how many young wives have been tormented to death by their mothers-in-law. If they had brothers or sisters to help them, they wouldn't have ended up in such a state!"
Wang Meihua seized the opportunity to start talking about the tricks used in the village to torment daughters-in-law, listing various examples of how daughters-in-law suffered grievances because their families were not supportive, ranging from minor physical harm to death.
They treated the original owner this way before, making him afraid of everything, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered so much and still met such a bad end.
Wang Meihua's mouth was dry from talking, and she stopped when she saw that Gu An'an no longer showed the fear and apprehension she used to.
"Keep going! I haven't had enough yet."
Gu An'an picked at her ears, pretending to be all ears.
“An’an, what your aunt said is true. You can ask your dad if you don’t believe me. We’re just doing this for your own good.”
Gu An'an walked towards Wang Meihua, a smile on her face, and asked curiously, "You're nice to me? Shouldn't you thank Auntie?"
Wang Meihua shook her head, "No need, we're all one family..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Qing raised her hand and slapped Wang Meihua repeatedly. This time, she didn't stop after just two slaps; she slapped her twenty or thirty times in a row. By the time she stopped, Wang Meihua's face was a mess.
Gu An'an waved her hand, "Aunt, why are you looking at me like that? This is how you've taught me to be grateful since I was little! Have you forgotten?"
"I washed Zhang Yanqing's clothes, and she thanked me with her feet."
“When I taught Zhang Yanhong how to do her homework, she slapped me in gratitude.”
“I carried Zhang Xiaojun’s schoolbag for him, and he thanked me with his fist.”
Am I wrong?
These things have all happened before, and countless times over more than a decade, but now that Gu An'an is using them against themselves, they can't stand it.
"Gu An'an, don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Yanqing was naturally unwilling to admit these things. She had recently started dating a boyfriend, her father was the director of a steel factory, and her uncle worked in the government. How could she allow Gu An'an to ruin her reputation?
Gu An'an kicked Zhang Yanqing in the stomach. Caught off guard, Zhang Yanqing flew backward and crashed into a nearby table, letting out a painful scream.
But this is not the end, but the beginning.
Gu An'an took a few steps closer and kicked the other person repeatedly, muttering, "I've forgotten how many times you've kicked me since I was a kid, I'll just guess and do it!"
"No! No! It hurts!"
Zhang Yanqing was an adult and had the ability to resist, but every time she tried to stand up by holding onto something, Gu An'an would kick her down again. The pain spread throughout her body, and eventually she could only curl up and wail.
"Mom and Dad, help!"
